    Why did you change from dev_err() to pr_err()?  You just lost a lot of
    information that the user previously was getting from dev_err() :(

I did this as per review comment from Andrew Jeffery, as we don't want to put this error for driver. It has to be handled by userspace. But I am still reporting some error here.

    Again, don't do that :(
